Tho Old Man Toll. His Yarn.

81 want to tell you little story about my
boy out in NewLraskey,' said an old farmer
III the smoking car to the party of drummers
who had been telling him some pretty tall
yarns. My boy is good deal of genius i'll
liis way. lemme tell you. and none of 'eln gets
ahead of him T'other day lie rugged up a
kite. 1t was the biggest kite Id ever set eyes
ON. 1t was about six feet wide, an twice as
long, an on the top of it my boy placed few
green branches which he'd cut from cotton
wood tree. Whats them fer" l inquired.
Never you mind, dad says he; Il know what
I'm about And, by gosh, he did. He flew
that kite up in the air an stood watchin' of it
fer long time, when says to him: You'd
better pull that thing down now an get to
Your work Iemme alone, dad, he replied,
III git thar yet And, by gosh, he did.
The next time took look at him he was a.
hauling i'll on the kite line, with smile on
bis face as broad as q fulrer. When the
Kite came down near the ground saw what
he was a-slnlin' at, and it was enough to
mako body smile, too. Any you fcllers
want to guess what was on that kite!
None OF the drunlmers wanted to guess, and
the old man continued his story:
wall, sir, sittin' on the top O that kite
was eleven o the purtiest wild geese ye ever
saw. Yes, sir, eleven on 'em. You see, the
geese was f1yin' north purity thick, an my
boy had got up this scheme to catch 'em.
There amt many trees out our way, AM after
fat goose has been flynn purity steady all
day he gifts kind o tired like an looks around
fora place to sit down an rest That's Just
what my boy was countin' OH when he built
that kite. by offerin' the geese place to
stop an rest, an by smearin' the top o. the
kite with tar so their feet would stick so fast
they couldn't get away, he did the business.
By gosh! but it was fun to pull them geese
ill., Just as fast as We could send the kite up
and pull her down again We got from ten to
dozen geese, an in four days we captured
six car loads, an I'm takin' EN- to Chicago
now to sell. None o you smart, story telun'

MATURE PENETRALIA."
A sluggish little stream that loiters slow
Between gnarlcd tree trunks and thick tangled

grass
And giant reeds in a deep wet morass
For many league, screened from the fiery glow
OF tropic sunlight, here and there row
OF small red bittcrns, sitting patiently,
Watch for the passing of their finny prey,
All silent as the waters voiceless flow:
Flash like live opals through the gloom pair
of bronzed winged doves: and in the inmost
heart
of this deep wilderness, alone. apart.
With mighty limbs outstretched and half shut

A French sc,entist,. prono,,t,on

An exceedingly novel and curious PROPOSE
ton has just been made by NJ Camille Flam-
marion, the well known French scientific
writer, which is much commented OH by the
foreign press. He desires to preserve inter-
national peace bya a plan that would ut the
same time, he asserts, enlarge the sum of llu-
man knowledge regarding the interior struct-
ure OF the earth. In order to do this lie pro-
poses that the European governments unite
turn oil their military forces into miners and
their weapons into pickaxes and other mining
tools. AT some suitable place he would set
all to work making vast excavation smiles

toward the center of tho earth the higher we
shall find the temperature, and thnt, accord
ing to some writers, the outer crust of tho
globe is but ten miles in thickness, at which
depth the heat Is SO intense that tho earth is
in state of fluidity, NJ Flalnmarion would
dig down till he reached tho Central fire" or
the center of the globe. In this way, lie
maintains, positive knowledge of tho struct-
ural formation of the earth's interior would
he obtained, while peace would be for tho
time maintained, "for the nations would
neither fight nor fear each other while all
their armies were underground, the soldiers in
the mines would forget the arts of war, and
the nations, discovering the vast progress
made without wars, would raise no moro
great armies" The plan is certainly an in
genious one, but its absurdity is so obvious
that we can only wonder how man so emil

ment consider it as possible Frank Lese's

An Incident Illustrating Their Astonish.
ing Appetite.
The natives of Vancouver's Island
are described by Mr.. Stuart Cumber-
land as superior to other tribes along
the Northwest coast. He praises the
beauty of some of the children; but,
owing to the manner of living, this
beauty fades early. An Indian is old
at thirty. Even the children seem old
er than they really are because Of the
gravity they maintain. Children. like
little brown rabbits, were sgua,tng
about on the ground, appearing to be.
even at that early age, too solemn and
taciturn to romp or indulge in child
like games. When they saw me ap-
proach. they were off as quick as rab-
bits to their holes, and now
and then l could catch them
watching me with large, black.
wondering eyes from behind boat, .
tree-stump, ora half-closed door.
Babies appeared to be plentiful, and,
unlike those in other places. they
seemed to be both healthy and we'll
nourished. Their lungs were certainly
of the strongest, and their appetites
were truly prodigious. An Indian
baby will yell at the slightest provo
cation-and. for the matter of that,
without provocation at all 1t is also
equally remarkable that "papoose"
will eat, or endeavor to do SO, any
thing he can lay his hands on. Once,
whilst was endeavoring to make my
self understood to q wrinkled squaw, a
velvet-eyed youngster, with def fin
gers. snatched cigarette out of my
hand and proceeded to devour it. At
first he seemed to like it, but he did
not go on long with the job, for with
q mighty yell, which would have STAR
tied any body except an Indian out Of
his boots, and which drove me out Of
the room, he dispossessed himself of his
spoil, whilst the ancient dame pro.
ceeded to fill her pipe with what re.
manned. - ToSA's Companion
